Graphs on the BOM web site seem to indicate that flooding in Brisbane QLD was more severe in the late 1800s than it is now. The construction of the Wivenhoe dam may have skewed the figures after 1974. Global temperature increases and temperature increases do indicate global warm is real problem, however to extrapolate that to to a single flooding event in Queensland may be more counter productive than helpful in promoting a good understanding of climate science. I think it is important to look at the long term data trend, rather than a one off event.
